In 1967-69, the primary campus computer was an IBM System 360,
7090/7094, I think in the basement of Campbell. I used an IBM 1620 in
the basement of Birge, after sneaking in to get access, to print punch
card decks "created" in one of the T buildings.
Turn around times for the System 360 were many hours during the day, but
only an hour or less at 2 or 3 in the morning. So we would stay up most
of the night in order to get our simple programs running correctly,
running back and forth between the T buildings and the 7090.
Or sneak into Birge and use the 1620 . . .

There is some information in
http://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED166018.pdf (page 218) that cites an
8 terminal NOVA and later a NOVA 800. The DEC PDP 11/70 was a UCB
service. This is a little earlier than the '75-77 time frame requested.
The numbers in this report are startling (to me).

"During 1975-1977 what was the main computing platform at the campus,
namely the Lawrence Hall of Science? My first experience with computers
was there, and I would just like to know what the mainfraime/mini
computer I was using. Its' the last part of my "computer history" that
is unclear. Thanks."
